If it is an application where JavaScript is a requirement for the user (i.e. you know what the users browser will be and do not need to worry about accessibility), then it is not a problem. One thing I can think of that could degrade is a table of data (e.g. results from a search, or a list of contacts to edit) that simply is processed on the server (e.g. by clicking page links, edit buttons, sorting the results etc) if JavaScript is off and on the client AJAX if it is on. Also, the back button may not work as the user expects - i.e. they search for something, then click back to get what was there before. Or when bookmarking a page, they don't get the same thing when the use the bookmark at a later date. I don't know if Ext is capable of this (I haven't really looked into it in that level of detail). > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Sam Collett > Sent: Wednesday, February 21, 2007 5:53 AM > To: jQuery Discussion. > Subject: Re: [jQuery] jQuery and Jack Slocum's Ext > > On 20/02/07, Jörn Zaefferer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > John Resig schrieb: > > > Hi Everyone - > > > > > > Today, we're proud to announce that the jQuery Project and Jack > > > Slocum's Ext Project, have partnered to integrate the amazingly > > > lightweight and powerful jQuery framework with Ext's awesome UI > > > library.
